Controlling a Multi-Effect via MIDI (CONTROL SOURCE/DESTINATION/SENS)

Multi-Effect Control
In order to control the multi-effect's volume or delay time from an external MIDI device, you would normally need to transmit system exclusive
messages (MIDI messages that are specific to the JUNO-Di). However, system exclusive messages are more complex to set up, and require a larger
amount of data to be transmitted.
For this reason, the JUNO-Di allows you to use control changes and other common MIDI messages to control the most important multi-effect
parameters.
For example, you might use the pitch bend lever to control the degree of distortion, or use keyboard touch to change the delay time. The parameters
that can be controlled in this way are predetermined for each type of multi-effect; such parameters are indicated by a "#" in the parameter lists in
"Multi-Effects Parameters (MFX1–3, MFX)" (p. 64).
"Multi-effect control" is the capability of using MIDI messages in this way to control multi-effect parameters in real time. You can specify up to four
multi-effect control assignments for each MFX 1–3.
In order to use multi-effect control, you'll need to specify which MIDI message (SOURCE) will control which parameter (DESTINATION) by what
amount (SENS).
As a substitute for multi-effect control, you can also use matrix control (p. 42) to control important multi-effect parameters in real time.

A patch or rhythm set contains parameters that specify whether pitch bend, controller number 11 (expression), and controller number 64 (hold
1) will be received for each tone or rhythm tone (p. 43, p. 50). If these settings are "ON," receiving that MIDI message will not only change the
setting of the assigned destination parameter, but will also apply the corresponding pitch bend, expression, or hold 1 effect. Leave them "OFF"
if you only want to control the multi-effect parameter.

Edit the parameters of the MFX type you've selected. Refer to "Multi-Effects Parameters (MFX1–3, MFX)" (p. 64).
Explanation
Specifies the MIDI message that will control the corresponding MFX control parameter.
OFF: MFX will not be used.
CC01–31: Controller number 1–31
CC33–95: Controller number 33–95
PITCH BEND: Pitch bend
AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch
SYS-CTRL 1–4: Use the controller that is assigned by the System setting SYSTEM CTRL SRC
1–4 (p. 14).
Selects the multi-effect parameter that will be controlled by CONTROL SOURCE.
The type of parameters that can be selected will depend on the type of multi-effect you've se-
lected in MFX Type.
Specifies the depth of multi-effect control.
Specify a positive (+) value if you want to change the value of the assigned destination in a
positive direction (larger, toward the right, faster, etc.), or specify a negative value (-) if you
want to change the value in a negative direction (smaller, toward the left, slower, etc.).
Larger values will allow a greater amount of control.
Choose "00: THROUGH" if you don't want to apply a multi-effect.
